In the first volume, a handful of students from Bay Point Prep decided to explore their new surroundings in hopes of finding a way of returning back to earth. Now those students find themselves guests of earlier inhabitants.
Residing in a township called New London, some of these citizens can trace their lineage back hundreds of years. With over 400 young people newly arrived on this mysterious planet, the ruler of New London, The Duke, sees new recruits to conscript in the town's dwindling army used to defend his lands from a malicious force. Now it's a race back to Bay Point in hopes of warning the students of the coming army of conscriptors. But a new player has taken a leadership role at Bay Point and the stakes have never been more deadlier!
James Tynion IV continues to take this amazing series into new realms. I don't feel like the Woods ever gets stale. Tynion isn't afraid to kill off beloved characters or place them in impossible situations. The author also puts as much of himself into the flashback sequences as the action packed scenes on the forbidden planet. So much that I feel like the Woods is one of the most perfectly balanced comics ever.
The art of Michael Dialynas is also very well crafted. He creates some wondrous alien creatures that are whimsical, terrifying, or both at the same time. I don't give it as much praises as I should because of the amazing story. But Dialynas’ art is just as vital to this series as Tynion’s writing.
Worth Consuming!
Rating: 9 out of 10 stars.
